Pope to nudge left U.S. on Immigration in 2016 election

"Pope Francis signaled Monday that Europe’s refugee crisis will be a top political and diplomatic priority for the Vatican in 2016, using an annual speech to diplomats accredited to the Vatican to urge “assistance and acceptance” for massive waves of migrants arriving today on the Old Continent.
He also indicated that American immigration debates are on his radar screen, mentioning that he’ll soon be visiting the Mexico/US border to call attention to what he called a “dramatic situation” there." CRUX
